10 Steps Ahead

Try to survive for as long as possible, using the barriers between you and the enemy to absorb the enemy's attacks. Be careful though - when a barrier collapses, it can no longer protect you from the enemy's one-shot attacks!

Reach for the highscores by thinking 10 steps ahead, making clever use of powerups to repair barriers, jump to the other side of the arena, or disable the enemy's queued attacks.

A detailed description of all mechanics and elements can be found here.
